Champions Crowned in Oregon Youth Soccer
Fall State Cups

Nearly five months ago, thousands of players on hundreds of teams across the state met beneath the warm summer sun for their first practices of the 2015-16 season. Boys and girls, old and young, recreational and competitive — many took to the field with the same ultimate dream … a State Cup title.

Twelve teams saw their dreams come true this weekend at the Tualatin Parks and Recreation District, as the 2015 Founders Cup and U11-U12 divisions of the 2015-16 Presidents Cup Presented by the Portland Timbers and Thorns crowned their deserving champions! Semi-final and final-round action in both tournaments brought nearly 50 teams — and their hundreds of supportive parents, siblings and friends — to the complex for an exciting weekend of soccer, featuring thrilling victories, incredible displays of individual skill, and smiles all around.

Soon, those winning teams will be joined by dozens of others to be crowned champions this coming spring in the older divisions of the Presidents Cup and the Oregon State Cup Presented by the Portland Timbers and Thorns, the top tournament-style competition for the thousands of players in Oregon Youth Soccer.

Thank you to the many volunteers and administrators who helped make these events a success this year, and congratulations to all of the teams who advanced to this past weekend's semi-final and final rounds!
